BIDI algorithm for Mozilla (from ICU)

BIDI algorithm for Mozilla

This is an implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional algorithm. The algorithm is defined in the Unicode Technical Report 9, version 5, also described in The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0 .

General remarks about the API:

The <quote>limit</quote> of a sequence of characters is the position just after their last character, i.e., one more than that position.

Some of the API functions provide access to <quote>runs</quote>. Such a <quote>run</quote> is defined as a sequence of characters that are at the same embedding level after performing the BIDI algorithm.
